IMPROVEMENT IN SLOP-BUCKETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,793, dated April 4,1876; application filed January 15, 1876. I

To all whom it may concern: c

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN P. WALKER, of Macon, in the county of Bibband State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Improvement inSlop-Jars, of which the following is a specification:

Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved slop-jar, taken throughthe line a: 00, Fig. '2. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention relates to slop-jars, which are provided with flaring toprims, to prevent the liquid poured thereinto from slopping out; andconsists in making on the flaring rim an upward extension that restsagainst the wall, and thereby effectually prevents the latter from beingspattered.

The simplicity and economy of construction in my jar give it a greatadvantage over those now in use, where the lids are sunk deeply into thevessel, and take up a great deal of their space.

A represents the body of a slop-jar, upon the top of which rests thefunnel cover B. O is the flange formed around the mouth of the jar. Atthe rear side of the jar the flange O is made with an upward extension,D, which acts as a guard or shield to prevent the water, while beingpoured into the jar, from flowing over or from spattering upon the wallor carpet, which it is liable to do when the jars are constructed in theusual way.

- Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Pat entihe combination, with funnel'cover B, of aslop-jar provided with a flange U, having the upward extension D, as andfor the purpose specified.
